    Two outstanding kits that helped define the sound of the 1980s were chosen by Abbey Road and Native Instruments sound engineers to form the basis of this KOMPLETE Instrument.

    The Black Kit, recorded in Studio Three, is a vintage Yamaha 9000 from the mid 80s. In its time, the 9000 was a ground breaking design and became wildly popular - subsequently earning a reputation as one of the most recorded drum kits in history.

    The Chrome Kit is a Slingerland Magnum fitted with single-headed concert toms. The concert tom concept was very fashionable during the decade and Magnum series was the manufacturer's top of the line range in the 1980s.

    The snare drums used include Ludwig, Gretsch, Slingerland and Pearl models. And of course, no 1980s drum kit would be complete without a full set of Octobans - melodically tuned tubular toms that were popular among many of the decade’s top drummers.


    check out the demos...

    any thoughts?

    Can't wait to try these babies out!

    New features... and a timbale! And Octobans!

    You know I have both (Frustrated drummer? You bet!) I think the AR kits are cool in their own way!

    A quick question Milan, can these kits be put into structure(or any sampler..are they .nki kits) or are they locked to the kontakt player?..i actually got the 70s drums or whatever when they were on offer at audio midi, didn't install them, but id consider it if they'd go into structure..

    Strike has most bases covered for drums..

    No Chris, I'm not 80 for another 6 years:D

    Does my stuff sound THAT 80s?

    I like to think there's an odd sprinkling of early 90s in there too;)
